General Shelter Support
General Shelter Support Activities
There are several behind the scenes activities that desperately need volunteer help on a daily basis. These activities involve the day to day demands needed to care for the animals at the shelter such as laundry, bowl cleaning, donation sorting and more. These small efforts of volunteer work go a long ways into ensuring the animals in our care are safe, happy, and healthy.
Laundry
The LCAS is looking for reliable volunteers to assist in our busy laundry room. Volunteers wash and fold pet bedding and clean and disinfect dishes, toys and other pet items utilizing a commercial dishwasher. Volunteers play a vital role in cutting down on the spread of illness by making sure all items are clean and sanitary.
Donation Sorting
LCAS is grateful for every donation given to us and we are so lucky to have such a generous community. To ensure that every donation given to us is properly used, we rely on volunteers to sort, organize, and distribute these donations to there proper location in the shelter. It is a daily undertaking needed by volunteers so we can utilize every donation where it is most needed.
Food Storage Organization
No kibble left behind! We want to ensure that every food donation given to us is used either by the shelter animals, animals in foster care, or with partnered wildlife rescues. To ensure food is being used in a safe manner such as before expiration dates, sealing opened containers,etc. we need volunteers to help keep everything organized.
Kennel Cleaning
Volunteers help control the spread of harmful diseases by working to keep the building clean and disinfected. Duties may include cleaning cat cages or dog kennels, sweeping, washing floors and walls, etc.
